Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Since there were no classes scheduled for the afternoon, Sun Buyu even personally showed Lu Yan around the academy.

After spending time together, Lu Yan couldn't find any fault with them.

No wonder in the original story, this person was the one who received Shrek's group.

And so, an afternoon passed, and Lu Yan had begun to integrate into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However, Lu Yan did not expect that on the morning of the second day after he joined the academy, something would happen.

He, a transfer student, had just joined the class through Sun Buyu's introduction and had only just finished his first theory lesson.

As the next training session was taking place in the class's private training area, Sun Buyu brought in another transfer student.

Lu Yan looked at the pretty girl with short purple hair and a touch of heroic spirit as she raised an eyebrow at him.

How could anyone not know that Dugu Yan had also joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

After a brief introduction, Dugu Yan completely ignored the students' comments and walked directly to Lu Yan's side.

This is easy to understand. Dugu Yan was not familiar with the other classmates, so she naturally felt closer to Lu Yan, who was a relatively familiar person.

As for Lu Yan, he had only just joined the class.

In addition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's emblem was deliberately added to the pale yellow school uniform to avoid unnecessary trouble.

They hadn't even had a chance to get to know their classmates yet, but because of Dugu Yan, the two of them were given a free pass.

He isolated all the other students in the class.

After all, almost all the students had connections, and Dugu Yan's basic information was introduced.

Even without emphasizing that she is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, how many people would not recognize Dugu Yan's identity?

However, as soon as Dugu Yan approached Lu Yan, she heard Lu Yan's surprised and doubtful voice.

"Miss Dugu Yan, are you following me?" Lu Yan looked at Dugu Yan with suspicion and said in an incredulous voice.

"It's just that I won one match against you in the Soul Fighting game. You don't need to be so eager to start another match right away, do you?"

"This is only my first training session since joining the academy!"

Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, Dugu Yan's pretty face was immediately stunned.

What is he saying? Did I follow him?

How could she know that Lu Yan had only just joined the academy?

Pah! Who would follow him? Shameless!

They were initially relieved to have encountered Lu Yan, a rival they had only met two days ago, right after joining the academy.

Dugu Yan, caught between surprise and delight, was momentarily at a loss for words.

"puff"

However, Lu Yan couldn't hold back his laughter at this moment.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan realized that Lu Yan was just teasing her!

"Yes, I was following you!" Dugu Yan rolled her emerald eyes at Lu Yan and spoke through gritted teeth.

"No, are you serious?" Lu Yan immediately took two steps back, looking startled.

"Hmph." Dugu Yan snorted smugly twice.

Then, unable to resist, he was amused by Lu Yan's funny appearance and his lips curled up.

"I've figured it out. You were lying to me the day before yesterday, weren't you?" Dugu Yan forced down her upturned lips and asked Lu Yan in a questioning tone.

"What?" Lu Yan was genuinely taken aback. "I acted so much the day before yesterday, how was I supposed to know what you discovered?"

"You didn't even bother to come up with any way to target me!" Dugu Yan said hatefully, glaring at Lu Yan with feigned ferocity.

"You used the same method you used to defeat other Great Soul Masters: close combat, control, petrification!"

"Huh? Isn't this normal? This is what I'm good at!" Lu Yan thought Dugu Yan was going to say something, but that's all.

"I have a really bad feeling about this!" Dugu Yan couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she simply said, "You give me a completely different feeling than you did the day before yesterday!"

"Looks even more handsome than the day before yesterday?" Lu Yan joked, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Go to hell!" Dugu Yan raised her foot and kicked Lu Yan's shin.

Lu Yan also raised his foot to intercept. Neither of them used much strength. Their legs crossed, and they were instantly locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

Even through the school uniform, Lu Yan could feel the slight coolness emanating from Dugu Yan's legs.

So Lu Yan quickly stepped back, raised his hands to indicate surrender, and said, "Wow, why are your legs so cold? Are you a human or a ghost?"

"My martial soul is a snake, you bastard! Didn't you learn any theory? Beast martial souls can have a certain impact on a soul master's body?!"

Hearing Lu Yan's words and seeing his exaggerated behavior, Dugu Yan felt both annoyed and amused.

How could someone be like this!

Today's Lu Yan felt completely different to her than he did on the stage the day before yesterday.

However, although Lu Yan was a bit annoying today and made her a little irritated, she didn't seem to dislike him too much.

Dugu Yan discovered that Lu Yan was like a poison.

So, after the subject teacher announced that the students could practice one-on-one freely, the training class started.

Dugu Yan's emerald green eyes were fixed on Lu Yan's handsome face, a face that made her want to punch him.

Chapter 61: Another "Sparring Session" with Dugu Yan

"What, you want to beat me up?" Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, not backing down at all: "If you don't use poison, I'm not afraid of you!"

I was just kidding. I'm not afraid of poison.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the application of Qi and blood, Lu Yan's physical qualities were greatly improved with the enhancement of Qi and blood energy.

This includes resilience, resistance to attacks, and resistance to abnormal statuses.

Dugu Yan's first two soul skills are mainly about abnormal statuses with relatively mild toxicity.

It was clearly Dugu Bo who chose this for Dugu Yan to prevent the defects of her martial soul from manifesting prematurely.

But this also means that Lu Yan is not afraid of Dugu Yan's two kinds of poisonous fog in the short term.

However, the performance still needs to be performed.

"Fine!" Dugu Yan cracked her fingers, slender and green, yet they made a crisp sound. "I won't use poison, and you're not allowed to use clay."

Dugu Yan wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that if Lu Yan used clay in a sparring match, she would most likely have no chance of winning.

But if they didn't use their martial souls, she didn't believe she couldn't defeat Lu Yan, given the natural physical advantages of beast martial soul masters.

Even without using Martial Soul Possession, Beast Martial Soul Masters are naturally stronger than Weapon Martial Soul Masters.

Moreover, she has an extra soul ring's source of support compared to Lu Yan.

Dugu Yan didn't believe it. Lu Yan was so young, yet he could develop the application of martial spirit to a level that even his grandfather praised as "unique".

They will still have the energy to focus on physical training.

She had received physical training from her grandfather since she was a child. Although it was far inferior to using poison, it did not mean that she was inferior.

At least, although she was better at mid-to-long-range hit-and-run tactics, her grandfather did not emphasize that close-range physical combat was her weakness!

This time, she's determined to win! She'll give this guy a good beating, hmph!

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I won't hold back. If you cry after I beat you, don't call your parents!" Faced with Dugu Yan's request, Lu Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Close-quarters combat is not his strongest suit these days, for example, compared to clay sculpting.

But it's not a weakness either. With the prototype of Thick Earth Fist and the support of Qi and blood energy, it can fight against someone like Dugu Yan.

Beast Soul Masters who don't primarily focus on physical enhancement are still fine.

Even if the opponent possesses a martial spirit, he will not back down.

The power resulting from the combination of Qi and Blood with Soul Power provides a leap in physical fitness.

At least, it won't be worse than the effect of a beast soul master like Dugu Yan possessing a martial soul.

Speaking of which, Lu Yan pondered for a long time before recording his research and conjectures on this topic in the Heavenly Book.

Actually, it goes against common sense.

In many novels, Qi and blood are described as extremely strong and yang, and people with abundant Qi and blood are so powerful that even ghosts and demons dare not approach them easily.

In Lu Yan's view, compared with soul power, qi and blood are "yin" because qi and blood are more "material" and more like material energy.

While recording, Lu Yan also added the concepts of Qi and blood that he had learned in his previous life.

Compared to Qi and blood, soul power is more "yang" in nature, more "intangible" in function or law, and more spiritual energy.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the two energies, which can also circulate in the meridians, can easily harmonize and merge into one.

Lu Yan simply called it Qi, Blood, and Soul Power, and the improvement that Qi, Blood, and Soul Power brought to physical fitness was incomparable to that of Qi, Blood, or Soul Power alone.

It achieved the effect that one plus one is greater than two.

It was through this intermediate state of Qi, Blood, and Soul Power that Lu Yan achieved the mutual transformation between Qi, Blood, and Soul Power.

It has a bit of the flavor of refining essence into qi.

However, at this stage, Lu Yan is doing more to nourish his essence with qi and transform his soul power into qi and blood to nourish and improve his physical body.

Of course, dietary supplements are also essential.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan was also trying to buy Millennium Whale Glue through some channels, but this stuff is indeed not easy to buy these days.

It was not convenient to make a big fuss about it, otherwise Lu Yan could have used the mutual conversion between blood and soul power.

By refining whale glue, one can enhance their soul power.

This is another shortcut to increasing your soul power level. Although it may have a certain upper limit, it's still a small burst of power compared to the gradual increase from dietary supplements.

With Lu Yan's current physical attributes combined with the rudimentary form of the Thick Earth Fist, Lu Yan felt that even top-tier beast martial souls of the same level could achieve such a feat.

Even without a martial spirit attached to him, he was able to fight him.

Well, let's forget about the Martial Soul Possession.
